Three-Axis Wearable Adaptive Vestibular Stimulator

Overview

About this study

Thep purpose of this study is to determine if 3WAVeS technology combining galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) and Virtual Reality (VR) will increase VR-based simulation realism and presence and mitigate the motion sickness often associated with VR simulation by re-coupling the vestibular and ocular inputs to the VR user. Additionally, due to GVS technology’s ability to accurately provide continuous inputs to the vestibular system, 3WAVeS can intentionally simulate high-fidelity effects of spatial disorientation for training purposes.
